With an almost identical set of dimensions to the Cochise but 200gms lighter per ski, the Scout is an awesome Freeride Ski. Still powerful enough to punch through crud when necessary its lighter weight means it is less tiring and indeed less demanding than its heavier big brother. The classic GS radius ensures superb carving and edge hold in wide sweeping turns even on firm pistes and its lower weight ensures great float when off in the steep and deep.
We liked its general all round feel and decided to stock this rather than the Cochise this season since it has several plus points and no negatives that we could find and perhaps opens up greater possibilities for the fractionally less technical skier at this waist width.
Again Blizzard have kept the graphics simple and this has added to the overall visual impact of this superb ski.

Taylor Anne brought her new webkins 'Clyde' to meet some 'real' horses!
We were excited to ride on the stage coach - we (yes Anderson too!) got to climb up onto the back and ride around the parking lot!
There was a great bluegrass group playing during the festivities! It was wonderful!
Hmm... you think these guys get fed picnic scraps much?

Silly Zoo animals!
Kiddos with the Sea Lions
We camped for the first time during our zoo trip - and it was fun! I was afraid we might be up all night with the little man, but he did great! It took a little convincing to get him to realize the tent was for sleeping, not playing, but he calmed down and ended up singing himself to sleep... "La, La, La, La..."
The hand sewing was done on the Memorial weekend trip to Holden Beach with my husband's family!
Hanging out with Pop-Pop on the dock!
Mike's cousin Nita helped make sure the kids didn't fall into the water!
Luckily we brought our net so we could catch tiny little crabs and shrimp in the canal behind the beach house!
Taylor Anne showed Anderson the way around the aquarium.
I love the aquarium!

- AdaptDesk by Relax The Back is rated out of 5 by 3.Rated 5 out of 5 by Robert Dunston from Sturdy and Sleek Desk! I spend some days 10 to 12 hours at my desk and so I thought I would treat myself to a sit stand desk. I ended up purchasing an Adapt Desk and Muvman Stool for my home office. I absolutely love standing while working! The desk was incredibly easy to set up and at 6'2" it is incredibly sturdy.Date published: 2016-09-26Rated 5 out of 5 by Christy from Indispensible to my work I am a writer who works primarily from home and suffers from low back pain. This desk is one of the single best investments I've ever made. I cannot recommend Relax the Back highly enough. They are a small, family-owned business and their knowledgeable staff gave me the time and attention I needed to determine the right desk and accessories for me. I was hesitant to spend so much on a desk, but I'm glad I made the investment. Mine was a custom order. On the day of delivery the product color was slightly different than described. They contacted me immediately and sent me photos via text to ensure I found the color acceptable before it was ever delivered. They also accidentally misquoted the price of a laptop adapter piece, and rather than charge me the full price they only charged me the misquoted price. The desk itself is of exceptionally high quality. Every aspect is adjustable, not only the height but the keyboard height and tilt angle, enabling me to have a perfect ergonomic setup whether I am sitting or standing. There are four presets you can adjust to whatever height you please. Mine are: 1) seated in my office chair, 2) standing, without shoes, on a fatigue mat, 3) standing, with shoes, on a fatigue mat, 4) standing on my mini-elliptical. They installed the monitor arm for me so I have free range of motion with the monitor as well. For those unfamiliar with a standing desk, I recommend switching periodically from sitting to standing. I switch every 25 minutes because my back cannot tolerate a longer time. The staff left me with an important piece of advice: "The most ergonomic position is the next one." It's clear from the look and feel and approximately two years of use, that this desk is made to last. I expect to be using it for a long time. It is incredibly sturdy and the movement is so smooth nothing on my desktop is ever disturbed, including full glasses of water. I quite simply would not be able to write for hours at a time on my PC if it weren't for this desk. The easy and smooth adjustability enables me to stand up easily and move around at my leisure. If you are in a position where you spend hours a day at the computer, I urge you consider such an investment for your health. And please consider supporting a business like Relax the Back, who, through quality of product and quality of service, has made a customer for life.Date published: 2017-11-17Rated 5 out of 5 by Sophia G from Amazing Quality My chiropractor suggested that I stand more while working at my desk to put less pressure on my lower back. I visited the Bee Caves location and Scott was very knowledgeable and showed me the benefits of the Adapt Desk. This desk was so much sturdier then other models they had in the showroom. With all the time I spend at me computer sturdiness is a must! Thank you Scott.Date published: 2016-08-09

Wildlife Bouquet - Painted Lady and Misumena vatia spider on Knapweed
Posted August 13th, 2009 by SMorey
I found this brightly coloured crab spider a couple of days ago.

Misumena vatia
Key species list:
Painted Lady
Parish or Group:
Painted Lady with attendant spider on Knapweed
I found this brightly coloured crab spider a couple of days ago.
It has stayed on this plant because it has a nest - you can see it on
the adjacent stem. In the nest I saw a smaller nondescript brown
spider, which I suppose was the male.
The spider did not try to attack the painted lady which landed on its
flower - presumably saw it as no threat. The spider has the same body
stripes as the white one seen in July (only 3 or 4 metres from the
same spot) but it is a little bit smaller. According to Wikipedia, it is the
same species - Misumena vatia.
The male spider is smaller and darker - see Wiki image

Genesis-Aetna alliance may preview ACO deals to come
Paul Bach
The program includes expanded discharge planning, enhanced electronic data sharing, rehabilitation services six days a week, round-the-clock admissions and additional physicians and nurse practitioners at 140 Genesis Mid-Atlantic facilities.
It's seen as a win-win, with an expected decrease in readmissions ranging from 10% to 20% over several years and a savings for Aetna of about $2 million annually. Genesis, meanwhile, is eligible for rewards from Aetna, based on achieving certain measures of improved outcomes.
The partnership, which began in April, has the same goals as future accountable care organizations: increase patient safety and outcomes while also decreasing costs, especially for those recuperating from joint replacements or illnesses such as pneumonia.
"We're working very hard to replicate this contract structure," said Paul Bach, Genesis' Central Area president. "It's a pay-for-performance plan that aligns the interests of the payer and provider. We'd love to see all managed care contracts based on incentive."
When Aetna and Genesis began talking about a partnership over the last year, the companies found that they had "mutual interests," said Bill Stout, Aetna's head of national provider contracting. The question Stout said, was "What can we do together to enhance care beyond our base agreement?"
One way: Now when an Aetna member leaves a Genesis location, a facility employee calls to schedule an appointment with the primary care physician prior to the member's discharge. The member receives a follow-up call and a discharge summary is sent to the physician.
While it means more work, Genesis has increased its staff accordingly, Bach said.

Zambia is a landlocked independent nation in southern Africa, just a little larger than Spain and Italy combined. Zambia is unspoiled by mass tourism, and is rich in wildlife, superb forests and meandering rivers. Of course it's also where you can see the world's biggest waterfall, the Victoria Falls, or as we call it Mosi-oa-Tunya - the smoke that thunders, which spans the border to our neighbour, Zimbabwe. It is one of the seven natural wonders of the world!
The people of Zambia are warm, friendly and proud of their heritage. With a variety of different tribes incorporating different languages, traditions, music and dance, you are guaranteed a cultural experience second to none.
Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa lying between the Limpopo and Zambezi Rivers and known for its dramatic landscape and diverse wildlife, much of it within parks, reserves and safari areas. The wonders of the landscape are matched by a variety and density of wildlife comparable with the world's best, and the country has no fewer than four World Heritage Sites, as registered by UNESCO; the famous Victoria Falls, beautiful and bountiful Mana Pools National Park, Matobo Hills and the great medieval African cities of Khami and Great Zimbabwe.

Why it matters if you love than it does not matter if I love that what is there about me and it just made me.

Are Electric Barbecue Grills Any Good?
Posted by Tom Aikins on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 Under: Cooking
The short answer is Yes! But we ought to have a look at the reasons why, so that you can reach your own decision.
If you live in the United Kingdom, as I do, you will be very familiar with the vagaries of our climate. Rain and wind is very common, and weather predictions are often more optimism than fact. This can make planning a leisure time barbecue a bit tricky.
I think that the main real benefit of the electric barbecue grill is that unlike charcoal and gas BBQ's, electricity does not produce noxious poisonous fumes. If the weather is good, fumes from solid and gas fuels are not a problem because we are in the open air. In an enclosed space, these same fumes can kill. Not so with electric.
There are occasions where we would love a barbecue, but either can't be bothered to prepare one or we simply don't think that we really have enough time. This is a perfect time to reach for the electric grill. Indoors or out, put it on a table, or on its stand and plug it in. Your can be cooking inside five minutes.
One of the many good things about living in the UK is our 230 volt mains power supply. This allows us to commonly use higher wattage devices than in countries that only have 120 volt mains. In the UK 2,500 watt barbecues are quite common. This can be important when we use the electric barbecue outdoors. Electricity will never produce the sort of heat that is common with the fire and brimstone that charcoal and gas can produce, but 2.5 kilowatts is hot enough to produce a perfectly acceptable barbecued meal. Most high wattage units have adjustable heat controls, and as such can be adjusted for any food type.
From the point of view of simple convenience, the electric barbecue grill scores very highly. They cost little to buy and to run. Unless there is a power cut you will never run out of fuel. You won't have to go out to buy charcoal or worry about the gas bottle running out in the middle of a BBQ.
If you are new to cooking on a barbecue you will be well advised to start with electricity. We've probably all experienced the flare ups and burnt black steak that is raw inside. These are not happy memories. With an electric BBQ you can practice in your own kitchen. Many electrical units have a griddle surface and a flat area. You can make a full English breakfast on many of these. It will give you excellent experience of heat management. When it comes to burgers, sausage and steaks, they will cook more slowly on a standard electric grill, so there is much less chance of spoiling the food.
For speed and convenience you really can't go wrong with an electric barbecue grill. You can find more information about individual makes and models at my electric Come and have a look at my Electric BBQ Review Site. There we look at the best of the best.

On September 3rd, seventeen eager volunteers boarded a plane for
Pascagoula, Mississippi. Our construction abilities may have been limited, but
our hearts were ready to serve. We had spent the last month preparing those
hearts. What is mission? What were our expectations? In a very short time we
realized that each of us had been called by God, from the youngest to the
oldest, that this was His mission and we were only the instruments being used.
When we relinquished that control, God opened the doors. God used us as a
witness; to people in the airport, to soldiers heading to serve, to the people
of Pascagoula, and to each other. As you view the following pictures of God's
trip, ask yourself where and how is God calling you to mission? We have many
stories of lives that have been changed as God works through everyday people.
What does your story say?
One volunteer's story.

If the Oceans Were Ink
Author(s): Carla Power
Published: 2015
Report Published: 21st June 2016
QUAKE Books Bonus: Exclusive interview with Carla
Track it Down on Amazon: USA | UK | Canada | Germany | Spain | France
Field Survey
Author Carla Power achieves in one 350 page book more than any UN peace treaty ever has, simply by looking at Islam through a kaleidoscope that blurs the line between the "us" and "them", defies labels and as a result sketches out a richer more intricate portrait of what it means to be human.
If the Oceans Were Ink is an intriguing book that isn't focused on a deconstruction or an alternative interpretation of Islam's sacred texts, as there are plenty of better books out there – libraries of them – that do just that, but rather acts as a guide to a reader taken by the hand and invited to look at a gravely misunderstood religion, through the lens of the personal.
Power's skill lies in her commitment to listen, without judging, and to unpack content to create meaning through one pious Muslim's personification of his faith. In her book, boundaries are broken down, not by force but by showing them to be a mere mirage that hides the fact that commonality, more so than difference abounds, when one frames the dialogue between a Muslim and non-Muslim on a God-centred universe, outside of the notions of "self" and "other".
If the Oceans Were Ink is a rare and much needed contribution to the debate because it is precisely this, a debate between a secular journalist and a world recognised Madrasa trained scholar. It is a timeless masterpiece for all who question and seek to find. Ultimately and most promisingly, it casts a bright light in an otherwise shameful episode of western politics, clearly identified as such in Arsalan Iftikhar's Scapegoats: How Islamophobia Helps Our Enemies and Threatens Our Freedoms.
"If Muslims rarely make it into the papers as three-dimensional human beings, there is also scant appetite in the mainstream Western media for what their scripture actually says."
"Too often the meaning of the hijab is taken as clear and unequivocal, like an on-off switch, a neat binary code. A Muslim woman is "traditional", if she wears one "modern" if she doesn't."
"It's quick work to allow modern tensions between Muslims and Jews in Gaza, or between Muslims and Christians in Egypt, to infuse a reading of the Quran. But to do so is to place the self, rather than God at the center…"
QUAKE Moment
As a white Western Muslim, I straddle the gap between the East and West, much like Kristiane Backer describes in her memoir From MTV to Mecca. Occupying the gap between two tectonic plates means that I am subject to every shift. Sometimes this results in head on collisions, other times you get a sense of being pulled apart at the seams.
To some, no matter what you do, you will always be that treacherous black societal sheep who traded democracy for barbarism. To them, my acceptance of Islam is an act of folly or defiance, a rejection of all that is good in the world and with a little luck, a temporary chemical mismatch in the brain. To them, my PhD education and western identity means little, as I obviously only embraced Islam as a means to force my daughter to wear a piece of cloth on her head. Let me tell you, if I could force her to do anything it would be to clean her room and respect her mother!
To those who are now part of my "community", I am with a naturally ginger beard a curiosity, a welcome addition to the clan but certainly not suitable marriage material for their daughter, denying me access to family, due to my skin tone more than anything. Friends, open enough to come to the mosque to take a look around, are rejected by ignorant leaders for not wearing the right attire instead of embraced and lent an item to cover up, as our scriptures instruct.
It sounds ridiculous, and believe me it is, but over such silly issues, wedges are placed that quickly turn into battle lines. In Islam more so than anything else, one voice, one mislaid opinion can speak for 1.7 billion people. Can you imagine if we took one voice as the absolute authority on diet and exercise or contemporary art?
And that is why Carla's work is so important to me, causing a bookquake that closes the gap and offers me a friendly hand in the trenches. It encourages me to pursue my faith deeper and gives me hope that the narrative can be flipped. It challenges the mythical creatures painted in the media that scream Islamophobia and make Islam and its followers out to be 2D cut outs who cannot question interpretations of the Quran or Hadiths. Her willingness to open up the floor for dialogue demonstrates that whilst we all follow one perfect God, He is the only element that remains truly the same amongst us and the myriad of imperfect shades that constitute the Muslim community. And for that I will remain truly thankful.
Carla states that all humanity should read the Quran for the benefit of humankind and the weakening of the "other" term that manipulates our media and informs our "fact" based beliefs. That may be true but I would argue that they should start with hers first…
Now I don't have to argue when someone decides that my religion gives them the right to state a position based on their "reading" of a Quran they have never held in their hands. I can simply reply that if they really want to know what I think, instead of just telling me what I think, they should buy a copy of If Oceans Were Ink. Problem solved!

Step-by-Step How to Colour a pencil sketch / drawing in Photoshop
This illustration technique me feels like I'm a little kid again and colouring in the lines! I really enjoy this style, as I can take my time with my B-pencil & smudge stick rendering an illustration… and then hop on the computer and create the final black & white and colour print-ready files respectively in a matter of minutes. It is an ideal style for creating a lot of illustrations in a short amount of time, as it achieves a traditional feel without the time involved in creating watercolour paintings.
The step-by-step process I follow to colour my illustrations in Photoshop is :
• Illustrate the character with a graphite pencil on bond paper (I like printer paper as it's smooth and fits on the scanning bed!)
• Scan each illustrations at high resolution
• Create a Photoshop file for the character illustration
• Remove the character from the background and place it on its own layer, carefully removing the whitespace with a soft edged eraser tool or feathered magic wand selection (see below)
• Adjust the contrast
• Save out a flattened, grayscale version as a TIFF (I've set up an action to do this in Photoshop automatically for me)
• Drop the B&W version into the InDesign layout
I then return to the Photoshop file and "colour" the illustration by :
• Duplicate the graysale pencil illustration layer
• Select "Hue & Saturation" (Under Image > Adjustments) and colourize to a sepia / warm brown colour (see below)
• Add a new layer and set the layer to "Colour"
• Select a colour and paint on this new layer… which in turn tints the sepia toned illustration layer below the new colour
• Adjust the opacity of the Colour layer, or the Huge & Saturation until it is just right
• Continue to add more colour layers until satisfied with the tones (often 2-3 layers of colour is enough for a single subject)
• Create a new layer and set it to Overlay
• Paint a few white highlights on the Overlay layer, then tint the opacity back a bit so it doesn't burn out the colour beneath
• Save the Photoshop file
• Save out a flattened CMYK TIFF and drop it into the InDesign file

What You Put in Your Mouth Can Beat Free Radical AttacksPublished:January 5th, 2012
You may not be aware of it but your body is under attack at this very minute. Free radicals constantly bombard the body and cause damage that can lead to ageing and disease.
What are Free Radicals?
In school you probably learned that your body consists of masses of cells and that each cell is made up of molecules. A molecule, in turn, consists of atoms and each atom has two positive and two neutral electrons.
A free radical is very simply an atom that is missing one of its electrons. This destabilizes the atom and makes it start to search for another electron. It may steal one from its neighbour and this leads to a chain of atoms involved in the same behaviour. This becomes known as oxidation.
What is the Problem?
If left unchecked, your health is going to suffer. Lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and gingivitis have all been shown to be linked to free radical damage.
What Causes Free Radicals?
A number of different things can cause free radicals ranging from a lack of sleep right through to your own metabolism. In general, poor lifestyle habits – like being sedentary, eating the wrong foods and drinking or smoking too much are big factors. You can halt the spread by using anti-oxidants.
How Do Antioxidants Help?
The simplest way to put it is that antioxidants have more electrons than they need. They are able to neutralize free radicals by giving one of their electrons. In doing so, they also help stop the spread of oxidation.
Sources of Antioxidants
Antioxidants occur naturally in a number of different fruit, vegetables, seeds, cereals and nuts. Broccoli, beans, garlic and berries are really great sources. Green tea, some fruit juices and coffee also have high levels.
Do I Get Enough?
You know how they are always saying, "Get your five servings of fruit and veggies a day?" It is the antioxidant content that they are after. This can mean making some drastic changes in terms of diet but the overall benefits make it worthwhile.

February, 2004 Contest: What is your favorite way to make your home smell good?
Congratulations to our contest winner!
Ana Schulze of Lake Forest, IL
In the summer I use lemons that I've cut part of the bottoms off of so that they stand upright. I also take off the tops and scoop out the insides. Then I put inexpensive white candles inside the "cups" and put several on a tray with either more cut lemons or a base of a several long green leaves that I take from the back of a house plant. The heat from the candles heats the oil in the lemons and they add a fresh citrus smell to the house.
In the fall/winter I use mulling spices, but put them in my oven at 200 degrees in a disposable tinfoil tray instead of on my stove top. Since it is in the stove, I don't have to keep watching it and there is no dirty pot to clean.
I reuse the spices over and over and each time I need a pleasant fragrance, I add more water and turn the oven on. I just keep the pan in the oven in between uses, OR put the spices in a ziploc bag in the fridge until next use.

The cold weather is normally responsible for health problems many people need to deal with every winter.
The constant changes of temperature can be brutal to your immune system, creating health issues such as colds and coughs.
It's very difficult to stay away from these respiratory issues because we face various temperature changes on a daily basis. Think about it. You are at home in a warm place. Then, you go outdoors and face freezing temperatures. Then, you suddenly go back to warm conditions in your car or public transportation, back to cold weather and finally to a warm work place (hopefully).
Sore throat is often the result of quick changes of temperature and cough lozenges can be your best friend this winter. Most cough drops products provide temporary relief for minor irritation or sore throat.
It's the quickest way to get rid of throat discomfort. It's also a very convenient product as you can carry it with you anywhere you go.
Most cough drops use natural ingredients such as honey, menthol, eucalyptus, echinacea, mint, orange and elderberry. Zinc is also a powerful cough suppressant and oral pain reliever.
The majority of products may have an anti-inflammatory and anti-septic action, providing cooling relief for dry mouth and soothing on the throat.
Cough drops are a simple and affordable product that can treat minor bronchial irritations and minimize severe conditions associated with the common cold and allergies.

British police were holding a 19-year-old man on suspicion of murder Thursday after a central London stabbing spree that killed a US woman but appeared unrelated to terrorism. Cities across Europe have been on edge after a string of attacks in recent weeks and the overnight rampage that killed the woman, thought to be in her 60s, and injured five others, had triggered fresh terror fears. "We believe this was a spontaneous attack and the victims were selected at random," senior police officer Mark Rowley told reporters.

A behavioural change technology company has unveiled its software at the Health 2.0 conference in Santa Clara, California.
The company, Klue, was selected as one of 12 companies selected to be part of Health 2.0's Launch! Panel at the Fall Conference.
Klue's CEO and co-founder Katelijn Vleugels demonstrated Klue's software which recognises subtle hand movements to accurately measure the behaviours they represent.
Klue has been designed to track people's eating habits in real-time to help them keep hydrated and prompts them to check blood sugar levels. It can track how fast and how much a person eats and enables health-tracking apps to monitor consumption patterns. Users are coached to eat more slowly, stay well hydrated and to avoid late-night snacking. It aims to empower users to adopt new habits that can help tackle obesity or to simply make them healthier.
About Klue, Vleugels said: "Klue is deceptively simple – but it's also very promising. We've identified the hand as a source of information that can greatly help us understand our individual behaviors and go beyond manual tracking of eating and drinking, which only a few of us can sustain given the difficulty, or friction, involved. We've developed a very sophisticated AI that distinguishes the signals from the noises of hand movements, providing the ability to coach and achieve strong behaviours."
Dr. Sarah Adler, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at Stanford University Medical School and an advisor to Klue, said: "Klue cultivates awareness of behavior and reinforces behaviour change in real-time. Technology like Klue helps to simplify complex choices about eating which decreases cognitive burden and can keep users engaged and on the right track for long term health."

The major part of your life is spent in taking care of yourself and satisfying yourself with your daily physical and material needs; but have you given a thought to your spiritual needs? That is the most important part of your being, as that is the only thing that will remain even after you die. This is the problem with mankind; they devote most of their energy and time to fulfilling the external requirements of their being, and forget the internal spiritual aspect.
Just like food and luxuries satisfies your physical desires, doing good deeds, by making certain sacrifices or serving others when they are in need, satisfies your spiritual requirements. God is the creator and He created every man in his own image and therefore in serving others you are also serving God.
Gospel for Asia is a group of missionaries who have dedicated their life to the service of needy people and also to spread the word of God and the message of Christ's love for all people. This group was founded by Dr. KP Yohannan a man who responded to the calling of God at the age of 16. His calling was to spread the good news of God and render service to all those who are in need. It is hence that he has been travelling the world through for the past 40 years and urging others to do the same as him.
His missionary group has several different sections to serve people in different ways. They have the ministry for medicine, slums, relief/disaster, compassion and leprosy. In these ministries the missionary brothers and sisters work relentlessly and without any hesitations, as to the work they have to do in any of the ministries. Even a disease like leprosy does not discourage them from participating actively in the ministry.
You do not have to always give money in order to serve people, surely that is a great help for the needy people, but utilization of that money in the proper way is more important than that. Also the physical contribution of providing for these afflicted people is a job of greater responsibility than just donating money. The food, shelter, clothing, medicine, and education are things which need to be catered to these people more importantly.
KP Yohannan was reminded by the Lord about the people of Asia, who are yet to recognise the unconditional love that God has for them which is why He has still kept them alive. They might be living in poor conditions but that does not classify them as not being loved by God. In fact, it is for people who are weak and suffering that Jesus Christ had come to this Earth to make their way to heaven where they have been promised to have eternal bliss.
This message along with the selfless devotion of the missionaries has led to the unimaginable growth of Gospel for Asia throughout the continent, especially in the Southern region. The program known as the Bridge of Hope is another milestone of this organisation wherein thousands of children are able to break the shackles of poverty and hopelessness.

This series approaches book design through the basic fundamentals of typography. In previous posts, we discussed typeface classification, typeface anatomy, and typesetting basics.
Up to this point, we've been looking at typefaces from a bit of a distance. Now I'd like to dive in and get our hands dirty—which is ironic, because in the days of lead type, diving into a collection of typefaces would literally have left our hands ink stained and grimy with lead. Stay with me, people. Please. I beg you.
Typefaces vs. Fonts
While the two terms are used pretty much interchangeably, there is an important difference between fonts and typefaces. Let's use our dear friend Helvetica as an example. Helvetica is a typeface. Within that typeface, however, there are a large number of fonts—Helvetica Bold, Helvetica Condensed, Helvetica Black Extended, etc. Think of a typeface as a family and a font as a member of that family. Every font has a specific width, weight, and slant. Just like we humans!
In the days of lead type (yes, here I go again), all the characters making up a specific weight, slant, and width of a given typeface (e.g., bold, italic, extended) were stored in a wooden box called a font (think of a baptismal font, I guess, or just think of an old wooden box). In those days, each size required its own font, too—6pt, 12pt, 24pt, 72pt, and just about everything in between. That's a lot of boxes! In the digital era, we can resize type on the fly, but we still need individual font files for our bolds, thins, narrows, italics, extendeds, and obliques.
Because serif typefaces employ a complex system of thick-to-thin contrast, the subtle harmony of a well-designed serif font is less amenable to weight adjustments. As such, most serif typefaces come in only two weights: roman (i.e., regular) and bold. (There are, of course, exceptions, especially as newer serif typefaces enter the game: See Bodoni, Clarendon, Sentinel, Archer, and many other slab serifs. Jenson Pro, an old-style serif, now boasts a light, a roman, a semibold, and a bold weight.)
Sans serifs, on the other hand, typically employ a relatively uniform thickness across the font, making the creation of thicker or thinner weights easy—just increase or decrease the thickness of the line across the board. (Of course, it's not quite that simple, but what is?) Another reason sans serifs commonly travel in more varied weight packs is that, on the whole, they're younger. In the days when serifs reigned supreme, there were no graphic designers around and thus no real need for all these weights. Then advertising showed up, and here I am with a semi-respected profession and a mind full of jingles and cast-off half truths.
Again, unlike most serif typefaces, sans serifs often include extended and condensed (also called "compressed" or "narrow") versions. Condensed fonts allow a greater number of characters to fit on a line, which is helpful when space is at a premium. Extended fonts, on the other hand, are bolder and easier to read (in theory, anyway), as each character is given more room to speak. Personally, I think extended fonts look clunky; many are poorly designed "stretched-out" versions of their standard-width brothers. Typically, condensed fonts are more common than extended ones.
Simply put, a font is either slanted (i.e., italic) or it's oriented vertically (i.e., roman). Because italic fonts are drawn separately from their roman brothers (many italic fonts skew toward scripts), the word "oblique" is used to describe a slanted font that hasn't been completely redrawn. "Oblique" is a term reserved almost exclusively for sans serif fonts. Declare that at a dinner party and feel the walls hum with reverence as the room goes dead.
Typographic Hierarchy
When designing a book, it's best to limit yourself to two, perhaps three typefaces. (Keep in mind that a book's primary purpose is to convey information to a reader—typeface glut leads to visual clutter and obscures information.) But remember, two typefaces could mean countless fonts, and by selecting robust, well-designed typefaces with a variety of weights and widths, you're giving yourself plenty to work with. Plus, you're guaranteeing that your fonts will work nicely together in layout. After all, they're family!
There's no more important concept to keep in mind than "contrast" when establishing typographic hierarchy. I like the assured contrast between a serif and a sans serif, so I'll often choose one of each when working on a book layout. Assuming I'll use the serif's roman weight for my running text, I'm left with an entire sans serif family, plus the bold and the italic serif for my system of headers, subheads, sub-subheads, captions, and various informational effluvia.
When setting headers and subheads, choose weights that are clearly different from one another. Rather than pairing a medium or a semibold with a bold, pair a bold with a thin or a light. Set your subhead font several sizes smaller than your header font to establish a clear and unmistakable hierarchy between the two. It may look obvious when a subhead falls on the same page as a header, but a reader should be able to identify a subhead on page 317 as being on the same level as the subhead on page four. Clear, strong contrast makes for easy identification of the pieces of your book.
Understanding typographic hierarchy is essential to the creation of a harmonious and functional book layout. In our final post of the series, we'll look at the elements that make up good book design, and what it means to create and to consume text on a page.

Great Pyramid VR
We've all seen the pyramids, but precious few of us have stepped inside one. Scratch that off your bucket list with Great Pyramid VR, which not only places you on top of the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt, but also lets you explore the interior… which, we've got to admit, could do with some decoration. Maybe a few plants. Regardless, with your flickering torch in hand, Great Pyramid VR lets you explore these mysterious corridors while hearing the story of this magnificent monument.
Spacetours VR – EP1 The Solar System
While we wait for our VR for Impact winner SpaceVR to put a satellite into orbit, this simulation of the entire solar system will definitely suffice. You'll be able to travel to eight planets within our solar system, created from NASA imagery and rendered in the Unreal Engine, as well as checking out the International Space Station in Earth orbit from close-up. If you're looking for an app to ease your family or friends into the VR experience, Spacetours VR should fit the bill.
Frontier VR
If the pyramids or the solar system aren't your thing, how about a trip to the Wild West? Frontier VR offers a highly stylized take on exploring the American West, with a host of animals and environments to interact with. Oh, and also guns. Lots and lots of guns. I mean, it's called the Wild West for a reason.
Your imagination can run wild in 3D space with MakeVR, which allows anyone to create 3D objects and even make them real via a 3D printer (or printing service). Easy to pick up but with enough scope to let your most epic creations come to life, MakeVR is a must-have for any aspiring artist or 3D modeler.
Tilt Brush
Paint with light in a fully interactive, room-scale 3D space in Tilt Brush, by Google. This incredible app is sure to keep you enthralled for hours as you create unique works of art that you can literally walk around and see from every angle.
VR Home
Who needs DIY when you can DIIVR (Do-it-in-VR!)? With VR Home you can recreate your home in a virtual space without lifting a finger. (Well, except maybe to pull the controller trigger.) If you prefer, you can always create an entirely new home and fill it with everything you've ever dreamed in a tasteful and well-chosen fashion. Or, just create a room and fill it with guns. As well as this creation stuff, you can play games and stream video inside your new VR domicile. Your IRL home will pale by comparison.
Solitaire VR
Remember when Solitaire was like, the only game you could play on Windows? Yeah, me neither – but if you're hankering for some alone time surrounding by beautiful playing cards, then you should check out Solitaire VR. All the solitaire variants are here, with gorgeous, ornate graphics and spooky surroundings that make that plain green Windows background look so 1995.
Moriarty: Endgame VR
You've never seen a comic book like this before. Based on the Image Comics series Moriarty, this VR experience will transport you into the panels of the comic page, as they come to life in an immersive environment complete with voiceover, effects and more. Now, who wants to adapt Peanuts?
Arcade Saga
The first title published by Vive Studios is now on Viveport. If you missed picking Arcade Saga up for free as our gift to you on Vive Day, now's your chance to enter this retro-infused world of fast-paced arcade action. Three complete games will test your reflexes, your skills and your competitive spirit across more than 80 levels – and once you're done with that, you can give the newly-added multiplayer a try. Time to break out!
If you're anything like me, your parents wanted you to stay far away from any sort of weird, spooky stuff like ouija boards when you were a kid. Now as an adult, as well as being able to eat ice cream for breakfast (Don't email me, mother), I can check out the virtual reality version of a Ouija board and ask important questions of the afterlife, such as: do you have Rocky Road on the other side?
Please note: Vive is not responsible for any hauntings, possessions or poltergeists that may manifest in your play area as a result of checking out OuijaVR.
Alcatraz: VR Escape Room
"You wake up with a loud ringing in your ear, a pounding headache, and confused."

BEIJING -- In his plaid pants, golf shirt and sun hat, the Japanese businessman slowly squeezed the trigger of a rocket launcher -- sending off a sudden burst of smoke, a concussive boom and a sizable shell into a barren mountainside a half mile away.
"Aaaaah," came the deep growl of satisfaction from the middle-aged tourist as he staggered back from the weapon. "Fantastic."
Such thrills meant it was business as usual yesterday at the China North International Shooting Range, about an hour's drive north of Beijing near the Great Wall.
The range is located within a weapons research center affiliated with China North Industries Co., or Norinco, the Chinese military conglomerate that has been making and sending to the United States hundreds of thousands of weapons a year.

Anti Aging Clinics
White Lotus Anti Aging has long been at the forefront of the natural Anti Aging revolution with their anti aging clinics. All products sold on the site have been extensively tested in the clinical environment. Long term practitioners Anthony and Kamila Kingston had spent many years traveling, studying and practicing the anti aging and beauty techniques from the traditional societies of the world. In 2006 they set up White Lotus Cosmetic Acupuncture. At the time this was the first specialist cosmetic acupuncture clinic in Australia and one of the first in the world. This clinic specialised in cosmetic skin needling and other forms of natural effective anti aging techniques. It has always been the aim of the clinic to provide natural alternatives to some of the more risky cosmetic practices currently promoted across the world. The clinic quickly grew in reputation culminating with several appearances on National Television.
In 2010 in response to the rapid growth in sales of the online shop the owners moved to the UK as a more effective base from which to run the growing International business. During the 4 years they were running the clinic in Australia the clinic proved a constant source of inspiration for new Anti Aging products and protocols. Client feedback has always been the best source of ideas to help people really achieve the results they want. It is for this reason that you will sometimes see the information on this website differ to other online shops as we only promote practices that we have seen work repeatedly in clinic. This is particularly true of the Skin Needling Roller where the owners both having undertaken 4 years training in skin needling and specialised courses on cosmetic skin needling were particularly well placed to judge what really worked and what was merely promotion.
It was from this experience that White Lotus developed its range of products and techniques for therapists
Some of the major achievements of the clinic are.
The first specialist cosmetic acupuncture clinic in Australia.
One of the first companies in the world to introduce a line of all natural organic cosmetic products using the ancient wisdom of the Chinese herbal medicine system the largest in the world.
The first to introduce acupuncture breast enhancement to Australasia using their own tested protocols.
The first to make the public aware of the great benefits of cosmetic skin needling through their interviews and stories on National Television, newspapers and through their articles in popular magazines.
One of the first groups to run National and International seminars for therapists training them in their own natural cosmetic skin needling techniques.
The first group to speak out about the possible health problems of the beauty industries dependence on high dose synthetic serums and creams when combined with the increased absorption of products caused by skin needling
First and only group to produce a Number 1 International Best Selling book on skin needling 'Holistic Microneedling'
White Lotus has always prided itself on being an educational resource as well as a shop and a anti aging clinic. For this reason the owners continue to provide you tube videos and blogs answering popular questions we receive from both therapists and the general public and debunking popular myths.

Jenene Swenson - Voluptuous Swedish Bombshell with Insatiable Hardcore Sex Drive
Jenene Swenson seemed like she was up to try anything at least once and maybe twice if it didn't hurt too bad the first time. This Voluptuous vintage pornstar was a star in her native Sweden, but also brought her Swedish boobs and ample talents across the ocean to the USA for a mix of softcore and kinky photo shoots and plenty of hardcore porn.

Very busty Swedish vixen Jenene has tits that are so fantastic they will make you sweat
Jenene Swenson's breasts were so fantastic that they couldn't be ignored. Even if they are not the focal point of a picture or a scene, you can't help but let your eyes drift to them. Her boobs are like the sun with everyone's lust-filled eyes orbiting around them waiting for a glance.
As amazing as her tits were, her legs were not to be overlooked. Trim, sexy and long, Jenene often showed her legs off in a variety of different thigh high stockings, garters and pantyhose. In one picture, she is relaxing in a chair with her legs spread wide open, and her skirt hiked up. As she rubs her pussy, her fantastic legs are on full display and look incredible in her very tall, sexy high heels.
Right from the beginning of her career, Jenene Swenson showed that she was fearless by doing some pretty edgy, crazy photo shoots. Some of those shoots included some very close-up shots of her fantastic breasts. In one picture, she pulled her tit to her mouth and licked her nipple. In another shot, she pressed her boobs together so she could expose her massive areolas that looked like saucers you would want to serve tea on.
Things took a much more hardcore turn in her shoots when she would lay back and spread her legs wide open so she could play with her wet pussy or when she got very kinky and spread her pussy wide open so she could impale herself on the tip of a bed post. While all the other pin-up girls were being demure and did very softcore nudity, Jenene was taking things to a whole new level.
Jenene Swenson porn photos:
Jenene Swenson does hardcore porn, bondage, and some red hot big tit worship
Not happy with just showing off her fantastic tits and hairy pussy, Jenene posed for a series of bondage pictures that found her tied up and her massive melons being punished. In the series, she is tied to the footboard of a bed. At first her wrists are bound, and her breasts have a few ropes across them. As the series progresses, there are more and more ropes used to tie her boobs, and the ropes are tied harder and harder. This retro hardcore sex model eventually ends up with her tits smashed against her body and a rope running right through her sweet, hairy pussy. She cries out in pleasure and pain as this kinky Sweden gets all she can handle.
While she was very popular in many men's magazines and had a huge following among guys who love women with gargantuan boobs, Jenene Swenson had ambitions that went far beyond the printed page. The porn world was starting to grow, and she decided it was her time to make the jump to porn movies. Right from the start she was very popular. On all fours, her big breasts would swing. If this long-legged classic sex star were on top of a guy, they would jiggle, and she could smother a man between them in any given scene.
By the way, you'll fall in love with these super sexy pornstars:
» Mary Edwards - British Mom and Granny with Hairy Twat & Titanic Boobs
» Mary Waters - BBW Busty Pornstar Who Fingered Her Chubby Pussy and Clit on Stage
» Michelle Webber - Well-Endowed Sex Symbol who Happily Fucked Both Men and Women
» Nanette Shelter - Big Tits Naughty Babe Loves Lesbian & Retro Softcore Porn
Jenene made a number of hardcore porn flicks that were pretty traditional. There were plenty of scenes where men worshiped her huge tits, sucked on her nipples or laying their cocks between her boobs and there were plenty more scenes where she gave some world class blowjobs and got fucked good and hard. Her glorious round ass would bounce up and down on a guy like she was a horny cowgirl out on the range.
We don't get a lot of views of Jenene's ass, but when it does fill the screen it is a sweet, cheeky treat. Jenene Swenson proved to be a natural on camera. She was game to try just about anything that made her very popular with producers and fans alike.
More pics of naked Jenene Swenson:
Jenene Swenson uses aliases and fucks her way into the 1980s
Throughout her career, Jenene sometimes used different names. Her most common alias was Jenny Swanson, but in some publications she was also billed as Jenny Winston. In "Las Vegas Girls" (1983) adult movie she was credited as Denise Swenson. No matter what name she may have gone by, her photo shoots and videos were always charged with an undeniable sexual energy that made her a force of nature.

Bahrain Beckons Tourists as It Diversifies Its Economy
Augustine of Hippo once remarked: "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." In the last few years, the Bahraini government has launched a multipronged strategy to ensure that the kingdom's page is more frequently read by the world's travelers. Can it succeed in a region riddled with security threats?
All of the Gulf states' economic roadmaps stress the need to develop the tourism sector, as part of a broader economic diversification strategy. In Bahrain, the sector accounts for around 5 percent of gross domestic product, and a slightly higher percentage of jobs. In contrast to its Gulf neighbors, however, Bahrain has been attracting travelers since antiquity, due to a combination of its strategic location on trade routes and natural springs – attributes that drew the mythic Gilgamesh to the archipelago, according to Sumerian cuneiform inscriptions.
Nevertheless, there is a sense among the kingdom's residents that its modern tourism sector is operating significantly below potential: Of the 12.2 million visitors it attracted in 2016, 60 percent were from Saudi Arabia, a figure that belies the breadth of Bahrain's relations with rest of the world.
Growth in Bahrain's tourism has been robust, with a 26 percent increase in visitors from 2010-16. To continue to increase growth, three complementary government bodies have sought to improve the kingdom's tourism credentials: the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiques, the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, and the Economic Development Board. The work of these groups has effected a drastic overhaul of what visitors experience within the archipelago.
Prospective tourists are targeted before they even leave their homes with the launch of the "Ours, yours, Bahrain" brand, an attempt at leveraging Bahrain's reputation for hospitality. Tourism offices have been established in important economic partners, including China, India, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Local carrier Gulf Air is set to expand its fleet, while the international airport is undergoing a $1 billion modernization plan. Specific targets have been laid out for 2018, including: reaching 15.2 million total visitors; increasing daily tourist expenditure by 15 percent; increasing the average stay from 2.2 to 2.5 nights; and increasing tourism's contribution to GDP to 6.6 percent.
For the Saudis who dominate the current tourist flows, shopping, restaurants, and movie theaters are the main attraction, and a welcome change from the constraints that a conservative society places upon them back home.
Attracting travelers from beyond the Gulf Cooperation Council states requires a different profile of services, however, which underlies government efforts at upgrading cultural and entertainment facilities. Several UNESCO world heritage sites have been developed, including the Bahrain pearling trail, which tells visitors about life in the Gulf prior to the discovery of oil, when pearling dominated the economy. The Bahraini island of Huwar – home to some unique wildlife – is also undergoing significant development to add further diversity to the range of touristic attractions.
These projects are an important part of what differentiates Bahrain from other GCC tourist destinations. For example, Oman emphasizes the natural beauty of its rural locations, whereas the United Arab Emirates offers entertainment facilities that cater to varied global tastes. Given the comparatively small size of the GCC countries, the touristic product differentiation strategy pursued by each member actually serves all of their interests, as it creates an opportunity for visitors to discover different facets of the Gulf as they hop from one country to the next. Destinations such as Bahrain and Oman are best seen as complements rather than substitutes.
For the Economic Development Board, an implicit component of the strategy has been to transform casual tourists into prospective investors. Bahrain has fewer restrictions on foreign ownership of business and property than most countries, including the rest of the GCC states, and the government is always keen to remind foreign capitalists of its persistently high performance in international rankings of economic freedom.
The Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority is also cooperating with the Information and eGovernment Authority to establish a sophisticated system for tracking visitors' numbers and activities. Falling oil prices have reinforced the need to spend efficiently – a task that requires precise data. Moreover, authorities realize that aligning tourism assets in the right way can amplify returns; microdata on spending patterns and customer evaluations is a critical ingredient for ensuring that each link in the tourism value chain is operating soundly.
An additional notable feature of the kingdom's tourism strategy is the presence of significant GCC financial aid. In 2011, in response to civil unrest experienced by Bahrain and Oman, the remaining four members of the GCC granted each of the two countries $10 billion in aid for infrastructure development. Just as Americans became used to seeing highway signs indicating funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Bahraini residents regularly see flags of the donor GCC countries on the informational signs accompanying infrastructure projects, such as the UAE's support for the airport expansion, or numerous instances of Kuwaiti and Saudi funding for highway construction.
While Bahrain's tourism authorities have been marketing the kingdom to law-abiding prospective tourists, its diplomatic and security authorities have been striving to scupper the efforts of violent external actors to get into Bahrain, or to support Bahrain-based belligerents financially or materially. The very public statements by the government regarding its counterterrorism efforts makes promoting tourism more difficult, suggesting that there may be higher returns associated with alternative ways of diversifying the economy, such as expanding the sovereign wealth fund, or developing manufacturing capacity.
There are a number of reasons for tourism authorities to persevere.
First, Bahrain has relied primarily on word-of-mouth to attract visitors due to its small size, and conversations suggest that visitors are leaving with a positive impression. In this sense, like boutique restaurants in big cities, mainstream media is of secondary importance.
Moreover, as the Brexit and the 2016 U.S. presidential votes suggested – and as confirmed by U.S. polls – the public's trust in traditional media globally is low and falling, limiting the influence of media coverage – positive or negative – on tourists' decision calculus, and amplifying the importance of peer-to-peer channels such as Expedia and TripAdvisor reviews.
Second, tourism has many virtues as part of a balanced economy. The International Monetary Fund has been stressing the need for the GCC countries to diversity their exports, not just their economies, and tourism serves this function.
Further, unlike natural mineral resources, touristic amenities, such as Bahrain's ancient castles or hospitable culture, are renewable, a desirable attribute in a decade during which sustainable economic development has become a key tenet of global partnerships.
Thousands of years ago, the beauty of Dilmun (Bahrain's former name) convinced Sumerians to designate it the Garden of Eden, and contemporary civilizations buried thousands upon thousands of their dead there in search of a shortcut to paradise. Many of those burial mounds still stand today, reminding residents and visitors alike of the archipelago's desirability. Prior to the 2014 oil price crash, the deployment of a wide-ranging and coherent strategy to monetize Bahrain's intangible tourism assets was a luxury, while in 2017, it is a necessity.
Omar Al-Ubaydli is the program director for International and Geo-Political Studies at Derasat, Bahrain and a non-resident fellow at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington.
